Schmidt-Rottluff's "Russian Landscapes" were probably created in Berlin after memories of the Russian landscape, which the artist had become acquainted with during the First World War. However, there are no references to war and destruction in them; instead, they depict an almost idealized rural idyll. In the "Russian Landscapes", memories and current impressions of nature merge, as the artist absorbed them in the summer months of 1919 in, among other places, Hohwacht on the Bay of Lübeck. After the First World War, Schmidt-Rottluff's work is characterized by a spirit of optimism. [JS]
